Recent wildfire has brought smoke and haze to Milwaukee all the way from Northern Minnesota. Miller Park staff was noticing the haze significantly before the Brewers faced the Colorado Rockies, therefore closing the roof and outfield panels. Staff said there was still a haze after the roof was closed but no complaints of smelling any smoke.
This fire was started by a strike of lightning near the Boundary Waters on August 18th but only started truly spreading after recent windy and dry conditions. This fire spread 16 miles in less than 24 hours time.
In some articles printed, professionals advised anyone in Wisconsin with breathing problems should take it easy because the smoke has been reported to be very thick.
